Instill a curiosity and sense of wonder for math in your homeschooled high school student with Discovering Geometry. True to its name, this text is arranged to encourage exploration and discovery in students, making higher-level math concepts less daunting. The author spends the first short chapter providing real-world examples which demonstrate how geometry can be seen in nature, art, and architecture around the world and across time. Throughout the course, student interest will be sparked with enriching background context to fuel their zeal for learning and engage them in the content. This text will guide students through fundamental geometry knowledge they will need to be successful in future math classes and in life, with an emphasis in logical problem solving through proofs and theorems leading into functional application of skills. This book includes:

  • “Investigations” that foster discussion and group problem-solving
  • Mixed reviews to test generalization and retention of content
  • Colorful and engaging enrichment material
  • Essential knowledge to master geometry and move into higher educational pursuits

Enroll your homeschooled student into a high-quality online geometry course with Kolbe Academy. The pace, structure, and texts selected for this course present and teach geometry in a traditional method, where logical thinking is employed to solve problems systematically with a procedure. Explicit instruction and repetition contribute as well to make a classically rigorous course that will prepare your child to take the math sections on standardized tests and to take higher-level math. With a prerequisite of completing Algebra 1, your student should be ready to move into even more abstract concepts and readily apply knowledge previously learned to the new information presented in this course. This course covers:

  • A review of algebra concepts
  • Fundamental geometry concepts
  • Reasoning and proofs
  • Constructions and transformations
  • Polygons
  • Types and properties of triangles
  • Introductory trigonometry
  • Types and properties of quadrilaterals
  • Congruence and similarity
  • Area and perimeter
  • 3-dimensional diagrams
  • Surface area and volume
  • Solids and similar solids
